I'm still the person on my friend's couch, and I'd like to own the couch.

The beautiful moment sits very close to the horrific one.

The lies are in the dialogue, the truth is in the visuals.

Happiness is a strange word. So conclusive. Happiness is a thing that happens for a moment.

I'm 51. So I'm just saying, 30 years from now you're going to have a different outlook. That's what a midlife crisis is.

I don't dislike everything I do. Especially with a film, you don't have an easy relationship with it when it's done because it's been your life.

I like to have a project. I live to have something to waste my energy on, something to think about. To figure out like a puzzle.

Waking up and having a project to work on is one of life's great pleasures.

I'm drawn to people that have tasks to do.

I don't have to be making something to feel like life has value.

I'm looking at the window and can't understand why there are six hundred thousand SUVs here in this little town. No one can even move. Why doesn't everyone just get out and walk?

We've protected thousands of people in Libya; we have not seen a single U.S. casualty; there's no risks of additional escalation. This operation is limited in time and in scope.

I am results-oriented.

Real entrepreneurs do what they say they're going to do, wannabes ask about it and have tons and tons of coffee meetings.

I haven't killed anybody all day. Help me keep it that way.

Men stop trying after a while and get lazy.

Sticking with your family is what makes it a family.

I'm a happy fellow. I feel very privileged, lucky, that I have had a wonderful life. And that I have been always allowed to do what I love.

I don't work at night. I'm not very good about working at night. I get tired during the day and I usually like to save my nights to try things out recording.

Manifesto. Read my Manifesto. I've written a Manifesto. It's all in the Manifesto!
